ein tempel ist ein ort der ruhe und mediation. ein ort an dem man sich selbst finden kann und seinen geist reinigt. im rastafari glauben ist dies kein besonderer ort oder gebäude sondern der eigene körper. es benötigt keiner institution oder eines monuments, um sich selbst und dem göttlichen näher zu sein. folglich ist jeder tempel individuell und jedes individuum ein tempel. auf 20 beats erzählt c-ras über seine spirituelle reise zu sich selbst und erlaubt den zuhörern einen einblick in seinen tempel. der junge münchner entdeckte den rastafari glauben während seiner zahllosen reisen in das land seines vaters, der karibikinsel barbados. c-ras ist bereits seit längerem in der münchner szene mit seiner band greenery force aktiv. mit seinen zwei soloalben bei keller flavour -the high and mighty- und -concept of madness- etablierte er sich als veritabler hiphop produzent.

&#8203,,,re-issue of hard-to-find 1971 jazz album, originally recorded and released in finland. fascinating fusion of modern jazz and elements of caribbean music, african roots and pan. quintet featuring rudy smith from trinidad & tobago, plus musicians from barbados, surinam, and ghana. tip! lars samuelson, a jazz trumpet player and producer in sweden who heard this quite unique quintet, was captivated by their concept and sound, and asked them to record an album. otinku, the resulting album, was recorded in stockholm in 1971, produced by samuelson, and originally released on the odeon label, a subsidiary of emi finland. with an afro-jazz/caribbean orientation, the selections are a rich mixture of jazz standards and original compositions, including recently re-discovered killer funk tunes otinku and sugar daddy, and a fine steel jazz version of bags groove. the album was their only release and is now a sought after item for steel pan/caribbean music fans and vinyl diggers.

saine & smith consists of jaja saine and leo smith. two talented djs/producers from stockholm. both are diaspora kids - jaja saine s background is in west africa and leo s in barbados. so their debut release is a kind of heritage reflection, with twisted elements of decadent scandinavian dance music, which echoes generally in their sound. a. lord vanlig - inspired from afro-caribbean traditional folk music from the 60s. a melodramatic blend of cheer and sorrow. with capturing and repetitive drums combined with a compact kick and sweet overlay of melodious keys and child laughter. b. sir viktig – a deep house banger with haunting ghost like pads, catchy afrobeat samples and vocal snippets.

having thus far released eps for aficionado and music for dreams, a vision of panorama return to their regular haunt mellophonia to expand on the promise of their shorter works to go deep into a balearic dream on aquafusion. it s a perfect meditation on serene funk from start to finish, spanning eight tracks of tender musicianship that sit very easy on the ears. the likes of surf blue almost do away with drums entirely in a quest for calm, while barbados and others offer up a more sprightly vision of 80s-flavoured groove, but throughout the mysterious hands behind the record maintain a smooth and steady mood that binds the album together.

true soul brings together two london based producers in ues and alex magno. having released and remixed as individuals, the destination house ep brings the two friends together with a double-header of choice house cuts. you can feel the warmth flooding from barbados.elegantly deep, its simple bassline throbs like a musical heartbeat as the rasping hi-hat pierce the ever-present blanket of the single note synth. destination house comes outta the oldschool. warm bass, crisp percussion and smooth key stabs are matched with a persuasive vocal sample and some downtown traffic to create a fresh cut that tips its hat to the past. stepping up on the remix is young dutch talent tom ruijg, who sets about polishing his own version of destination house in some style. adding a little more muscle and holding the keys till the final third, tom rounds out the ep in style.

australian producer deepchild drops the second single >no disgrace< from his new album >lifetime<, a dub heavy slab of techno soul featuring the vocals of barbados-born mc ras roni with the usual intricate programming found in all deepchild productions. on the a-side jimpster under his audiomontage guise delivers a remix he concedes to be >fucking slamming, maybe one of my best yet< combining a stripped back techno structure with chunky rolling bass and heavy soul in a devastating dancefloor weapon. deepchild s original is equally at home at london s co-op or vienna s dub club as it is rocking the floors in aus while always and forever shows more of the flavour from the album with a dose of his trademark rich melodic deepness
